Slow Flexibility - Lower Body

Join Sabina for a controlled "sword yoga flow" focused on deep lower body flexibility to help you achieve your splits and open up your hips and hamstrings.

This session will take it nice and slow, emphasizing deliberate movements and deep breathing. You will begin with a warm-up, move deeply into the practice, and finish with a cool-down.

The class includes:

Warm-up: Starting with deep breaths and a cat-cow movement while using the sword.
Hip and Thigh Stretches: Deep stretches for the hips and outer thighs, including sitting with legs crossed (left knee forward, then right knee forward), incorporating forward folds, and outside flower points.
Warrior and Lunge Work: Kneeling striking warrior and high lunge poses with a focus on pushing the hips forward and opening the hamstrings.
Movement Drills: Practicing the "half flower ninja" drill and "outside flower kick" sequences.
Deep Stretches and Bind: Incorporating deep squats, side-to-side movements, and a bind using the sword as a tool.

You will feel the expansion in different muscles as you work slowly and deliberately to push your flexibility closer to your goal.
